An Odd Turn of Events

I've had this blog since July of 08. I have only ever had one rude comment (Well, that I can REMEMBER) and that one involved my daughters. It turned my stomach, and totally FREAKED ME OUT. I quickly deleted it, and haven't had another.

Sure, I've had numerous comments from Suzy's many Asian friends and lovers, but since I don't understand a word of it I just always assume they're telling me how much they love me.

111 comments:

WHAT? I never had this impression. Not even for a minute! I think Purple is having an out of body experience! (I am so excited to be the first comment! I knew if I visited tonite you would be back, I've missed you!)

I think it's just a crazy that wants to make other people's lives miserable. Hence my anonymous comment. I'm miserable enough all on my own. I wouldn't give it another thought - don't give them your power.

"Purple"? Really? That's their screen name? Sounds to me like they aren't original at all and are envious of your creative and hilarious blog.

I bet it was Barney. I hear that purple dino is real bitch!

I've received random 'hater' comments before, and I, too, just delete them. Part of me wanted to leave them posted, because I should accept all points of view, but I reserve the right to put my middle finger on the delete key and say 'poof' whenever I so wish.

I wrote a post about how Deepak Chopra looks ridiculous on Good Morning America wearing bedazzled eye glasses and sparkled sneakers, and mentioned that he's crossing into the Hollywood Bagwan Rajneesh (sp?) territory. Boy, did some of his cult (er, I mean 'follower's) bash me.

Gawd, I LOATHE when spammers make a comment that can hit a mark and push a button. Even when there is no basis, it gives one pause, and that is the most frustrating thing because, while one hates to give them power, one cannot help but contemplate and then doubt.

I got a phone call like that once. It was 3 in the morning - except I was the one cheating with her man.. However many times I tried to explain that she had the wrong number, it didn't matter. This was before we had caller id and I *69'd the person, got the number and called back at a respectable hour and spoke with HER MOTHER - who apologized... oops!

Wouldn't give it a second thought... Maybe purple was posting about her bra on the wrong page - LMAO

Oh, Okay, OMG, WTF, what other acronym can I offer? Do you have a stat.com or some sort of counter or tracker on your blog? Maybe you can track back to see where the comment came from. Then use WHOIS to get an ID of the IP address.

I hate trolls. I've only had one and hope I never get another. I just re-read that post and nowhere in it did you say that you were a control freak and the Tightwad was cheating on you. I say ignore Purple.

I could never think of any reason why a follower or occasional reader would want to be rude to you. I read your blog every day since September 2009 when I started my blog, and I've found it honest, direct, and entertaining.

Like my anonymous commenter of last summer. Ignore this person and don't give "it" any energy. If "it" chooses to comment again, simply delete it. I didn't delete mine because it was so entertaining, you know, watching them make asses of themselves.

I really wouldn't worry about too much. I've more than had my fair share of trolls (being the devotee of chat rooms for the past 3 years), and because of one of them, I moderate my comments and have been since Nov '08.

However, I did get rid of said troll by means that I don't really recommend using unless its absolutely necessary.

Wow Purple need to resolve to not be such a meanie and realize that hey sometimes it is better to not comment if all it is going to make you sound like is a total jerk! Yeah, Delete the comment and move on... or better yet, if you are such a control freak have your husband delete the commment! ;)

Yeah...I've been getting some bizarre comments lately too! I finally put some of the Asian comments in a translation program and they are all advertising porn! Great! I don't want to have to "approve" comments! That sucks! Just like Suzy's sister! :)

Wow - am I the only one to point out the irony of her saying your a control freak ... but then telling you to keep him on a tighter leash? Wouldn't that be MORE controlling. Trolls with inappropriate metaphors are just the worst. Doesn't she know you're a teacher?

I've only gotten one nasty troll comment like this and it's stupid that they try to get a rise out of us. I think Purple needs a little black and blue, but is too yellow to come forward with an actual name so would rather sit in a corner green with envy over all the people who love you. Hopefully, these comments make Purple see red. We love you, Vodka!

What a douche! This is probably some illiterate moron who can't put words into complete sentences. She is probably jealous of how awesome you are and is simply resorting to this BS to attempt to ride on your coattails. Go get your own success, loser! I prefer pink to purple anyday!

I can see why this comment would have made your heart skip a beat - but now that it is back on its regular rhythm you know in your heart of hearts that this comment is pure bull. Posted by a nasty person with a warped sense of humor. Don't give it another thought. There are a lot of creeps out there in blogland and it sounds like Purple is one of them. Oh - but now we know the Purple identity so if Purple rears his/her ugly head around our blogs we all know to just laugh and delete.

I had no idea SNARK came in purple. I always hated purple. It's so LOUD, and garish, and goes with nothing. It's pretentious. It's show-offy. You know what I think of when I see purple? Ugly throbbing things... veins popping out of necks... hammer accidents... loose toenails.... a good upchuck after a bottle of Cabernet.

I'm thinking that "purple" is a jealous chick(maybe even a blogger or someone you actually know that reads your blog) that is so completely,insanely jealous of your friends and good life that she wants to "publicly" try to mess with it.

LOL to "purple": Honey get some cats(five should be about your number-see Simpsons cat lady)

and go on about your lonely life. Vodkamom supporters are not of the lightweight, gullible variety.

Buhbye now. Get lots of catfood. Go for the 50 pound bags.

See we gave you some attention. Now you can jump for joy at someone giving you attention(any attention is good attention right crazy?)

Now go ahead and retreat back to lonely land while Vodkamom stays loved.

Purple is my granddaughter's fish. But I thought he died just before Christmas. Hmmm. Perhaps he faked his own death, and he's haunting you now. I'm so sorry. I'll call my six-y-o granddaughter and make her come clean.

Don't forget to tip the waitress. I really DO live on tips....
